Konoha: A golden flash from the tomb

After two days of familiarity, Minato has basically understood the current situation of Konoha. Compared with three years ago, Konoha has not changed much. Since the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Konoha's defense on the border has not been good. What was reduced was increased, and the events of the Nine-Tails Rebellion were strictly guarded against by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Not to mention being a spy from another country, even many people in the village didn't know the specifics of what happened. Only the news of Namikaze Minato's death was forced to be released after being delayed for a long time. Kushina, as the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails Directly without mentioning a word.

It is precisely because of the strict defense of this news that Konoha has not been seen in the past three years. The four major ninja villages of the four major countries have come together to attack. It is true that they are fierce and jealous, but it is also true that they are worried, but it cannot be said. Hit, that's not enough.

Seeing that there are less than fifteen thousand available troops, Minato is not uneasy at all. He has indeed announced that he will formally declare war on Yunyin Village in the near future. However, this time, Minato does not intend to follow the instructions for this battle. The pattern of war continues with a costly war of attrition.

Konoha is now in dire straits, and the trauma of the war is real. Those genin who graduated from ninja school at the age of five, six, seven or eight and went directly to the battlefield are emasculating Konoha's future.

The Sandaime and Danzo could agree to send such ninjas to the front line in order to reduce the loss of the village's "backbone" strength, but Minato could not do this. The Sandaime could do the stupid thing of encouraging young people and squandering the benefits, but he could not do it. In this war, From the beginning, he defined it as a war involving only a very small number of people in Konoha.

"Thank you, Lu Jiu."

Minato put down the intelligence document in his hand and looked at Nara Shikaku, who was standing in front of him with a tired look on his face.

"This is my subordinate's job. It's not hard work."

Although his body was a little overdrawn from working overtime for several days without sleep, Nara Shikaku did not feel that this was an unbearable hardship. As the Nara family who is close to the Sarutobi clan and a die-hard ally of Hiruzen Sarutobi, they could It was extremely rare to receive this kind of kindness unleashed by Minato.

What's more, Minato didn't even reduce the Nara family's position in Konoha. Recently, the Uchiha clan started negotiations with the Nara family under Minato's instruction, asking them to send their capable people to join the Konoha Security Department to share this long-term The power has always been held by Uchiha.

This is indeed a very important but also very offending position. It is a trap set by the second generation for Uchiha. Uchiha is strong enough, but his brain is unable to correctly and properly handle the complex situations that this position requires because of his paranoia. , but once the Nara family's think tank intervenes, and the Uchiha family is willing to listen to appropriate suggestions, then this trap will become a huge cake that benefits both families.

This generous reward made Shikaku even a little scared, so when dealing with the tasks that Minato had previously assigned, Shikaku showed [-]% energy, and he even threw out the word "trouble" as taught by his ancestors. own dictionary.

"Although I really want you to take a vacation and rest, now Konoha needs capable people to take care of the village for me after I go to the battlefield."

Minato handed over a form with many projects, "This is my preliminary plan for the future of the village."

Facing Minato's calm gaze, Shikaku, whose back was soaked with cold sweat, stretched out his hand tremblingly to take the thin page. To be honest, he didn't have the slightest idea to read this hot-touch plan. No, this is totally fatal.

Regarding the future plans of Konoha Village... Even in the third generation period, Mito Kadeni, Kaden Koharu, and even Danzo, who were senior advisors to Hokage, did not have the opportunity to see it. This belonged to Hokage, the leader of Konoha. The secret of power, Nara Shikaku, is just a Konoha chief of staff. How can he be so virtuous and able to gain such trust as a criminal?

Even at this moment, Lu Jiu had already thought of his own epitaph, hoping that his son would have these words engraved on it in the future.

"I heard that Shikamaru and Naruto played well? I watched them go digging out bird's nests with Choji yesterday."

"Ah? This..."

Lu Jiu, whose mind was racing wildly, took a long time to come to his senses. He really didn't expect Minato to say such things to him.

"Yes, Shikamaru doesn't stay at home anymore recently. It's nice to be able to go out and play."

Silently, Shikaku relaxed a little in his heart.

"Yes, children should be lively. It's not good to find trouble in everything. Whether it's Naruto Shikamaru or me and you, we are still very young. Only the elderly will sigh."

"I plan to resolve the matters in Yunyin Village as soon as possible, so after I leave the village, I need someone who is trustworthy and capable enough to lay the foundation for these plans for me."

"This can't be too much trouble, Shikaku, I want Konoha to surpass what it once was in my hands, so before we move forward, we have to pave the way for it."

Shikaku, who had calmed down a little, was finally able to seriously read the words on the page in his hand.

But the more he looked down, the tighter Shikaku's brows furrowed. This was not a very detailed plan, but it was a very complete plan that was hard to find fault with. The directions it covered almost covered the development of the village. every aspect of.

Starting from the three most important directions of the village: education, economy, and medical care, the dozens of detailed rules that were extended almost subverted Shikaku's world view. He had never looked at the future development of a village from such a unique perspective.

Although there were many things that he couldn't understand the deep meaning behind yet, the ones he could understand were shocking enough.

The structure of the country and villages in the entire ninja world is basically that the daimyo is responsible for ruling the land, economy and politics, while the ninja village, which is the military force of various countries, is not involved in production, but undertakes tasks from all parties and funds from the daimyo to grow the village.

This plan for the future of Konoha fundamentally rejects this long-lasting pattern.

Once the dozens of five-year and ten-year plans written on the paper are completed, Konoha will no longer be the Konoha of the Fire Country, but the Fire Country will be the Fire Country of Konoha!

The three powers of military, politics and economy are in his hands, and the Hokage who holds these three fundamental powers will become the unshakable and uncrowned king of the Land of Fire.

Or maybe the real king.

"Watergate!"

Nara Shikaku suddenly raised his head from the page, his eyes shining with a strange light, but before Shikaku could continue to speak in this excited moment, Minato raised his hand to interrupt his unsaid words. .

"This is just the first step. As the First Hokage said, he established the village to change chaos into order, so that order can last forever, protect children, avoid unnecessary wars, and achieve final peace."

"I think so too, but my approach is different from that of the first generation, but I think my approach is more suitable for this village and this world."

"Actually, I have always had a question: Is our world really that big?"

"Is it only as big as the five great kingdoms of fire, water, thunder, wind, and earth combined?"

"Beyond the edge of the distant desert and the vast sea, are there more scenery in this world that we have never seen and people we have never come into contact with."

"I want to see what this world really looks like, but all this requires me to bring the peace that the first generation hoped for, the peace that we all hope for together, from dreams to reality."

After saying these words, Minato also stood up while supporting the table.

"Tomorrow morning I will go to the front line of the war with the Kingdom of Thunder, Shikaku. Before that, remember to draw up a compensation letter that will make Yun Ying feel so distressed that his legs will tremble."

"I will declare to the world with absolute victory that Konoha still stands at the top of the ninja world. Konoha has never looked weak and cowardly."

"Go and have a good sleep tonight. You will be busy after I leave."

"I will do my best. The Nara clan, the Yamanaka clan, and the Akimichi clan will all do their best for you and Konoha."

Lu Jiu half-knelt and saluted. The excitement that surged into his heart at this moment made a magnificent picture scroll appear in his mind. He couldn't tell what exactly appeared on the picture scroll, but it must be a magnificent and magnificent blueprint.

As Minato said, we still have many unseen landscapes waiting for us to explore together.
